Permanent Residency for Wife Moving with Canadian to Canada

This process has changed since Sept 2023.

This description of events is pertaining to the principal applicant being my wife applying as spouse through family class. I being the sponsor will need to produce documents as well.

Our son is a citizen through birth right, therefore we are not really applying through anything for or through him.

Note: Documents are conveniently located in one drop bar location here:

My wife and I have been married for two years (together for 5 now, married in our 3rd year together). We have a son who we just completed the application for of citizenship and passport.

I am a born and raised Canadian paying income taxes in Canada still with residency still in tact as I own "property" and have not renounced my residency in Canada.

Now for my wife's PR, I am beginning to collect resources and links, building the accumulation of all portfolio pieces in the event someone else needs similar resources or know how.

Canadavisa.org is a money grab-avoid unless you are lazy or can't speak/read English.

One thing I have read is that her Biometrics need to be done and this needs to be completed through a VAC in the country we are in (China), there are many around the country, we are going to Shenyang in particular though. My wife needed to complete her travel visas to the U.S. and Canada there.
Shenyang is the closest to our current location at the moment. However had I known she would need this, I would have set it up to be done in Beijing while at the Embassy completing my son's application (TIP).

I have recently learned that the biometrics are not necessary if they are already collected by the government for passport or visa purposes-I am hopeful that her biometrics done for her Canadian visa five years ago are applicable.

Submission of documents for Permanent Residence Travel Document: (China)

In regards to the PRTD (permanent residence travel document), I contacted the Beijing Consular (Embassy in China), this is what I was told,

Here are the VAC centers for folks who need them though,

Service centers can be found here:

In regards to my particular endeavor, here is a forum bit that usually provides a shred of random help here and there:

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-wife-living-with-canadian-husband-outside-canada.461449/

So if the PR is being mailed in from overseas, biometrics are collected after the application and are done at the VAC. But before that my wife is going to need her Medical examination and Police Certificate prepared. The police Certificate will only be valid for 6 months-this could be an issue.

The medical examination locations for applications being created in LiaoNing and Guangzhou are provided in the screenshots below.





Talking about my sponsorship now, here is the document checklist form:

Income Tax for Foriegners

To begin this, I'll sum up that if you are not necessarily interested in my own personal outlooks and views on things this is what you would like to see and get assitance with if you are an Expat in China who has no idea of how taxation works. http://www.china-briefing.com/news/2015/01/28/paying-foreign-employees-individual-income-tax.html For those of you who appreciate and looked forward to my "Feihua", here it is. I have been in China for four years now, just when I think I understand how things work-I'm wrong (or it changed). Regardless of what it is when you read this, it is this for the time being. Realistically it is not as bad as one may think it to be when comparing the tax process from here to other places such as in the Middle East. Again, the view is from an outsider of that culture and expat community, however it still seems to be a relatively  conversed and ranging topic of positives and negatives. The tax system in China has its benefits as wel...

大黑山 Big Black Mountain Hike (2014)

Smoggy day :( could be better but I have been trying to do this for far to long and I currently have the opportunity to do so. Seizing the day. Origin point jinshitan, qinggui to kaifaqu. Stopped in kaifaqu, heading to tong shi tai, it is the first stop of the smaller line that stems from kaifaqu station. When getting off the train in kaifaqu, walk to the railway to your right that has the next station sign pointing in the direction your train came from. Get on train. Get off the train and head down stairs, exit off the same way you entered the train. Once you punch out of the station, exit the right side of the building onto dongbei road, a short distance to your left you will see a curve I to the next street which is______ road, go down that road _____ a short distance ahead you will see a hard to notice bus stop, jump onto bus 4, take it till they kick you off. After you get kicked off you will be confused and around what looks to be a street market. Lots of places to get food and w...

Five countries, Four Weeks Pt.6 "Koh Phi Phi-Bangkok"

Koh Phi Phi was indeed a beautiful island, right from the moment we stepped off  the boat  till the second we got back on to leave. Again, everyone seems to be asking for a dollar here, a dollar there. It becomes regular yet annoying. The island itself is very small but so incredibly easy to get lost on. Every back alley takes you to the same main bays but how far down the bays you are is the tricky part of figuring out your location. We stayed at a shady looking guesthouse called “Oasis Guesthouse” which was not too expensive but certainly didn’t seem all that secure considering the windows were just glass panes and there seemed to be a gecko or two which were always running around. Kyle and I roomed together while Jesse and Krista were sharing a room. I mostly remember from the time spent in that room, Kyle telling me again and again “rather have geckos than anything else…” I looked at him as if he was getting ill. He continued to explain that geckos are two things, faster ...
